Mazzy Star

In the 1990s, Mazzy Star was at a significant point in their career, particularly during the live performance showcased in the MTV recording. At that time, they had just released their second studio album, "So Tonight That I Might See," in 1993, which featured the band's well-known hit "Fade Into You." This album helped solidify their status in the alternative rock and dream pop scenes, characterized by haunting melodies and ethereal vocals from frontwoman Hope Sandoval. The MTV live setlist includes tracks like "Into Dust" and "Ghost Highway," both reflective of the band's signature sound that blends melancholic lyrics with lush instrumentation. An interesting aspect of Mazzy Star is their distinctive ability to blend folk influences with a contemporary alternative aesthetic, which resonated deeply with the 90s music landscape, further contributing to their cult following.
